Having slept thru some of Randy's ARC cases where this project would have been seriously appreciated - and needed - I'm not sure I'm the right one to ask about moderation. Granted, there has been a lot of wine(5)ing going on about various public expectations, but the debate hasn't even touched on the tax(7)onomy implications introduced by this case.
As an aside, someone from the services team objected to a subtle mis-characterization in the architectural background, and asked me to step up to the bar for them. The project docs state that "decompression was never viable", but yet our company makes a significant amount of high margin revenue based on the fact that inexpensive object oriented algorithms can be applied to the essence, resulting in high margin products that have captured huge market share. For more info, see the mixin superclass, specifically the Screwdriver(1m) application and the entire "DoubleBubble" product line. Finally, there are several projects in the queue that depend on this case - I know of at least the boilermaker(1m) and sakebomb(1m) efforts.... -John
